My experience with Chestertons has only been saved by Kacey Naish. She has been very responsive, even on Christmas Eve. She has been patient and held my hand through a deposit dispute. She is the only reason I will probably stay a client of theirs.
Hi Safiya, we are sorry you have had a deposit dispute but are so glad Kacey has been responsive and patient. Thank you for the review.

Chestertons - "You don't even deserve this 1 star"I had terrible experience with this letting agency.Please find below timelines of experience which made our life stressful.Chestertons posted ad for property on 4th Oct.1)Holding deposit was transferred for renting apt. on 6th Oct.2)Referencing started on 7th Oct and was completed by 14th Oct.3)Tenancy agreement was created on 15th Nov.They took 1 month just to create tenancy agreement!!!!4)Tenancy agreement was signed by us on 17th Nov.5)Remaining deposit and 1st month rent was transferred on 18th Nov.6)They made sure that we did not visit apartment twice . We were following up for apartment viewing but they couldn’t give us appointment from 31st Oct till 18th Nov.We received call from Melis on 19th Nov. mentioning that "Even though you have passed referencing checks , we cannot rent this property to you"7)They had our approx 5000£.
Hi Amruta, we are sorry to hear of your complaint. We have reviewed the situation with the relevant team and whilst we understand you were eager to get the contract, there are certain elements and documentation required from both parties before we can complete the contracts.We're aware that you were booked in to view the property twice once you arrived in the country so this request was not ignored, however, on both occasions the current tenant cancelled due to her child being unwell. This was unfortunately out of our control as we cannot enter the property without the current tenant's consent.The current tenants advised towards the very end of their tenancy that they would not be able to vacate as they were unable to find alternative accommodation. Melis contacted you as soon as we got this news and provided evidence when you requested it, to confirm the current tenant's situation. Due to the laws in the UK, we cannot do anything to speed up the vacation process until this has gone through the courts. Melis offered the closest comparable properties that we had on the market at that time to try and assist you as we did not want to leave you without options.Our teams have checked our accounts and we can see your holding deposit was returned to you on the 21st of November and the balance was refunded on the 23rd of November.Whilst we appreciate this has been less than ideal for you and Deepak, the situation is beyond our control.

TrustpilotAs a Landlord we find that more than…
As a Landlord we find that more than once they have paid rent owed to us to another persons account. Instead of instantly just paying us the outstanding money owed to us, they tell us they need to talk to the person whose account the wrongly credited. This should not be relevant to us. This is their error and they need to sort it immediately.As we pay a management fee, we should be able to expect a professional service. Disappointing and inconvenient!

GoogleMy experience with Chestertons little venice was very good, my personal estate agent Samuel Manley (senior Negotiator for Lettings) he made our moving happen in less than 7 days from time of viewing till move in, he was very concentrated, determined, responsive, helpful and focused on finishing this with our requested time, he helped us negoitate the price with landlord, furniture, referencing and agreement, he was with us till after keys were released and made sure we are happy. I highly recommend this office and esp Sam as he made all the process smooth and less stressful. Thank you Sam and the team.

TrustpilotWORSE THAN HELL
This is the worst agency that's ever operated in the UK. They only care about signing the tenancy agreement, after this, you can completely forget about receiving a dignified customer experience. First of all, they are able to tell you that the property you are renting has features that you've requested (such as AirCon), assure you of this through multiple emails, and even show you the AirCons through virtual tours, in cases when you are renting from abroad. Then, when you arrive at the property and the AirCons don't work, they don't fix it even after you specified that the AirCons were a MUST to rent the property. They simply laugh at your face after signing you as a client, worst customer service EVER, simply DON'T USE THEM. They ignore your messages and your calls, and they make you feel like you don't matte after paying for everything. And when you're done with your tenancy agreement? Behold, because to get your deposit back you must be a magician. I've been trying to contact them for 2 weeks, sending e-mails, calling them, in order to obtain an expected date of my deposit return, but NO ONE ANSWERS. It's exhausting and if this message can help you to avoid all the horrible situations that my flatmate and I went through, this message was completely worth it. I work with real estate in my home country, and I've never seen such a service that tends to advertise itself like it has some sort of "standard" to only receive the most horrible of services that this market has to offer. SAVE YOUR MONEY, TIME, AND PEACE OF MIND, and AVOID THIS AGENCY AT ALL COSTS.
Hi there, we are very concerned about your review and would like to investigate this matter further. In order to do so, please could you reply to our request for additional information? Once received, we will be able to look into this as soon as possible. Thank you.

TrustpilotMichell Vasquez - Property Manager
Michell Vasquez (Property Mgr at Chestertons) has done a great job managing my flat. She is very responsive and has liaised effectively with my tenants to resolve a number of unforeseeable maintenance issues that have happened in the last 6 months.
Dear Ms Chan,We are terribly sorry to hear of your experience, our staff take huge amounts of pride in providing excellent service and we are saddened to see this is not what you experienced. Since you left your review we have been in touch with the branch to discuss what happened, and they have tried to contact you to talk about this. Unfortunately there was a typo when your email address was initially added to the system, which resulted in the lack of communication (which was later rectified). The property on which you offered on was marketed as “Offers in excess of” as the client wanted to achieve over asking price. When you put your offer forward the branch let you know that there was already a higher offer made, and tried to contact you via telephone and text to discuss. We would love the opportunity to rectify the situation, and should you wish to discuss further please do contact the sales manager Charlie.Thank you

TrustpilotExceptional experience!
Exceptional experience! My agent was Leusa, I had a very difficult situation and a lot of set backs but finally managed to get through it all thanks to her patience and her empathetic approach. Coming from the service industry myself, having good knowledge of the current market, and after being registered with around ten agencies I can most definitely say Chestertons is by far the best agency out there(Westminster). From their initial understanding of your needs of your ideal property, to their service recovery and their exceptional customer care- I would definitely recommend contacting Chestertons if you are currently looking or desire to look for a property even if you are negotiating with other agencies!
Hi Viraj,Thank you for taking the time to leave this great review! We're so pleased to hear that Leusa was able to support you and provide an exceptional experience. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you need any further assistance.

TrustpilotNo deposit return after over 2 months
The people who work here couldn't care less that we don't have our deposit back over 2 months after moving out of the property. We have had to borrow money to pay our rent at our new property and I have contacted the agency via phone and email at least twice a week since we moved out. They have confirmed there are no deductions to the deposit, but don't have any intention of releasing the money. I would strongly advise you do not use Chestertons if you are considering renting a property, they are unhelpful and completely unresponsive.
Hi Isabel, thank you for providing us with further details so we could investiagte this further. Please be assured we take your comments very seriously. We are sorry about any delays you have experienced from Chestertons’ side and apologise for any inconvenience this has caused you.Having spoken with the property management team who have been handling the matter, I trust you have now received a direct update from a member of the team and the issue is being resolved for you, without any further delays. Should you have any further queries, please let the team know and they will be happy to assist. Wishing you all the best!
